Generally I will put out a point release when either six months have passed since, or there are at least four significant changes relative to, the previous release-- whichever comes first. Can you not use the pre-release binaries in the meantime? https://virtualgl.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases That is what they're for. Pre-release binaries for Linux are built using the same Docker container as the official releases, so there should be basically no difference between the Linux binaries here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/virtualgl-pr/master/linux/index.html and here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/2.6/ except that the former contains the bug fix. If an organization's policies do not allow the use of those pre-release binaries, then that is not my problem. Furthermore, the 2.6 beta release was available for testing for four months, so there was plenty of time for organizations to test that beta release and report the bug in question. Had that been done, then the bug fix would have been included in the 2.6 official release. I hope this underscores the importance of testing beta releases if you intend to eventually upgrade to the new version.
